Hotline Slot Machine

The moment you load up the slot game Hotline, you’re greeted by a short 3D animation introducing the characters in the slot and the fictional actors who play them. It’s a loving homage to the sort of introduction you’d see on a show like Miami Vice, and if you’re a fan of those shows, these are the touches you’ll appreciate. However, that doesn’t mean people who don’t care about the theme should stay away. Hotline offers fun, interesting bonus features that will keep anyone playing.

Slot Features

Hotline is a 5×3 slot with 30 fixed pay-lines, a basic betting range from 0.15 to 150, and an RTP of 96.13%. Players earn their wins in coins, with a maximum win of 60 000 coins on offer.

The female lead symbol stands at the highest end of the paytable, rewarding you with six times your stake, followed by Tubbs and Crocket. Various items of expensive-looking jewellery stand on the lower tier of the paytable, which makes a refreshing change from the standard card deck symbols were used to seeing in NetEnt slots.

All thirty paylines are active at all bet levels and will always pay from left to right.

The bet level increases with every hotline activated. When a Wild Symbol lands on an activated hotline, it expands to cover the entire reel, and awards players a re-spin.

Should the Wild Symbol land on a deactivated hotline, it simply substitutes for all other symbols (except the scatter symbol) to complete a winning bet line.

Hotlines also make use of a Free Spins feature, and this is where the action really starts to heat up. The Free Spins round is activated by the appearance of three Miami Sunset Scatter symbols anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5 at the same time. When this happens, the game awards a player 7 free spins.

If a Wild Symbol appears on an activated hotline during the Free Spins round, it expands to cover the reel and becomes sticky, remaining on that reel for the rest of the free spins.

The Expanding Wilds feature, coupled with the Free Spins round, provides players with a greater opportunity to finally nab the thief and recover that huge bounty.
